The MAHA® Podcast

Is RFK Jr. doing enough to Make America Healthy Again? While some are busy moving around the goal-posts, RFK Jr. and HHS are steadily chipping away. History shows no administration has taken on this many fights at once.
Host Tony Lyons opens with what HHS is doing on Lyme disease, PTSD care for veterans, chemicals in the food supply, and vaccine injury reporting. Former White House chef and retired Army Master Sergeant Chef Andre Rush talks childhood obesity, PTSD, and why he stands with the Secretary despite online backlash. Russell Brand reflects on faith and truth and discusses his new book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days. Dr. Eric Berg, The Knowledge Doc, breaks down the new inverted food pyramid and argues that protein, not carbohydrates, should come first. Oliver Rocroi of Guardant Health calls on Secretary Kennedy to convene the recently restaffed U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to review colorectal cancer screening, including FDA-approved blood tests. Biological dentists Dr. Shawn Javid and Dr. Ben Javid of Smilebody explain their concerns about mercury amalgam fillings and other dental metals, and why they say safe removal matters. Brett Galaszewski, National Enterprise Director of Turning Point Action, shows how volunteers anywhere can help MAHA-endorsed candidate Zach Lahn in the Iowa governor's race using the TPAction app. Del Bigtree of ICAN and The HighWire closes the guest lineup, arguing that the new NIH vaccine injury clinic and the federal push to listen to injured families are real progress, and that the midterms will decide whether it continues.

Is the MAHA movement being divided from within? Mainstream media wants you to think so. Tony Lyons opens this week's Media Hub with a warning about infighting weeks before the midterms.
Robert Scott Bell expands on his thought experiment about how industry could weaken the movement by turning allies against each other. Russell Brand, joining from the UK, reflects on last week's MAHA gathering in Washington and the people he met there. Armstrong Williams argues that health reform is common sense, not radical, and calls on the media to cover chronic disease instead of manufactured feuds.
Mary Holland of Children's Health Defense introduces Sarah Doe, a Long Island high school senior, and her mother, Jane, who describe how Sarah has been kept out of school after her medical exemption requests were rejected. Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation presents two new analyses: one reporting an association between COVID-19 vaccination and autism diagnoses in children using national survey data, and a risk-benefit reanalysis of Moderna's new mRNA flu shot, mFlusiva.
Dr. Eric Berg, The Knowledge Doc, explains the difference between cancer screening and true prevention, drawing on research into overdiagnosis. Dr. Daniel Pompa makes the case that mold is an overlooked driver of chronic illness, following Secretary Kennedy's recent mold surveillance roundtable. Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL) talks about the GRAS loophole, clearer food ingredient labeling, and what chronic disease costs the federal budget.

Left-leaning media outlets, silly derivative influencers, and a cadre of Hollywood parrots love to call Bobby Kennedy 'dangerous'. Cheryl Hines says the label is vague by design. Russell Brand asks: What is that contempt costing all of us?That question runs through the whole hour. Host Tony Lyons opens this week's show by arguing that captured agencies didn't just make Americans sick — they took away our ability to think for ourselves. Then come the numbers: obesity is down 7% and real food sales are up 8%, the first reversal in 40 years. FDA Acting Commissioner Kyle Diamantas details the agency's GRAS rulemaking, an expedited IND pilot built to pull clinical trials back from China, and a record 35-day approval for a rare disease drug.Dr. Sina McCullough shares her Beyond Labels research on measles, sanitation, nutrition and what the historical record actually shows. Filmmaker Sean Stone previews "10 Things to Learn: Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Soul," with a foreword by Secretary Kennedy. Dr. Eric Berg, the Knowledge Doc, explains why addiction is driven by delivery speed rather than pleasure, and how ultra-processed food and phone scrolling exploit it — the core idea behind his new book "Change Your Environments."Dr. Jonathan Lundgren reports early findings from the 1,000 Farms Initiative, including regenerative wheat with twice the protein of conventional and staggering disease rates among American farmers. Dr. Brian Stenzler remembers the 1,500 chiropractors who cared for Ground Zero workers for nine months after 9/11. Mary Holland previews the Children's Health Defense conference in Washington and a Long Island medical exemption fight.✊ JOIN US: mahaaction.org📰 The MAHA Report: themahareport.com📋 Legislative Tracker: mahaaction.org/legislative-tracker🚨 Subscribe & hit 🔔 Live every Wednesday at 4:00 PM ET0:00 Tony Lyons — Opening8:27 Kyle Diamantas14:24 Dr. Sina McCullough23:15 Sean Stone30:32 Cheryl Hines35:50 Dr. Eric Berg45:14 Dr. Jonathan Lundgren54:16 Dr. Brian Stenzler1:02:26 Mary Holland1:08:20 Russell Brand1:16:15 Tony Lyons — Call to Action

AOC says she's on the same page as MAHA. Host Tony Lyons opens the Media Hub with the reasons that claim doesn't hold up.
He argues that chronic disease, not infectious disease, is what's actually filling American hospitals, and that you can't condemn liability shields for glyphosate and then hand one to pharma. Then, from inside the White House, Peter Navarro previews his new book, Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, and explains how the 1,100-page diary at the center of it was recovered from HHS servers. Brigham Buhler breaks down the FDA advisory panel vote that cleared six of seven nominated peptides and previews PepMed 2026 in Washington, DC. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong explains how peptides can light up a tumor on a PET scan and where his IL-15 superagonist work stands worldwide. Dr. Drew Pinsky argues that primary care has been reduced to a commodity, and draws a line from Galileo's inquisition to today's scientific bureaucracy. Dr. Bethany Hall-Long shares Delaware's chiropractic model and the case for H.R. 539, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act. Dr. Eric Berg unpacks nine hours of daily childhood screen time, cortisol disruption, and the dopamine trap from his new book, Change Your Environments. Regenerative rancher Mollie Engelhart argues that real food freedom takes the PRIME Act and an act of Congress, not an executive order. The show closes on the midterms and why the movement has to hold together for the next two years.
